Seattle Young People's Project (SYPP) is proud to announce:

The 2010 Summer Youth Organizing Institute
August 9-16th, 2010

What is the Youth Organizing Institute (YO!)?
Are you a youth ages 13-18?  Are you tired of seeing injustices all around you? Fed up with being mistreated because of your age, race, sexuality and/or gender? Interested in getting your voice heard? Well, come to the YO! and learn about youth organizing and social change! The YO! is a week long social justice training camp for and by youth. Learn about undoing oppression and how to be an effective youth organizer and leader in your community. The doors are open to all students.

When and where is it?
The YO Institute is eight days long:  August 17th-24th from 10am-4pm. Bus tokens will be provided. The location will be in Seattle, but is still to be announced. We we'll send you the location with your application confirmation.

   * Undoing Oppression
   * Youth Organizing 101
   * Real World Survival
   * Educate 2 Liberate
   * Revolutionary Art
   * Media skills
   * Overnight Retreat!

Get paid to make change?
